team chat dead?

[Sapphire]

did they manage to kill the team chat with the last update?

figured i'd ask since i've seen ZERO people typing at all and i can only see what i type.

you can't serious... no wonder people poop on these AAA priced titles and the multi billion companies.

Most people hide it because kids cry a river on it.

It works. It hasn't been removed. Sometimes people just don't care for it and it stays silent. Other times everyone wants attention. I had a nice chat about Glitch McConnel needing to retire on my team chat last time I played.

It's because they censored the chat (it started with BF5), so now you can't say anything offensive and it can get you banned if someone reports you, heck even some random words are being censored.

For example all chat wasn't even available from the start they added it a couple of months ago, that should tell that they don't want you to talk to others because you might say something ''offensive''.

You should check settings. Chat might be disabled there.

playing with my father, and we tested the text chat it wasn't working for both of us.
and my father's BF2042 account is low level. he bought the game and played it for little bit.
and i am nice person to everyone, so we are not banned from chat, it wasn't working because EA want to cut out non-essential expenses, like chat moderation.
maybe its working for few people, but not all the time, over time will be gone for everyone so no one will notice and people think no one is talking.

very serious, and this is nothing compared of some other worse things EA did with this game.

Update,
we contacted EA support and they told us this :
chat settings been disabled by accident in the last few updates.
so people thought the chat is bugged, and some people discovered it and turned it on and still no one talking because the majority didn't discovered it yet.

and that was true, chat was disabled in settings in 2 accounts in 2 different PCs.
and we turned it ON and its worked, but no one is talking because other players chat is still disabled in the settings by mistake from the last few updates.

and i am sure this mistake wasn't a mistake, its just another hidden thing from EA like they always do.

In case anyone stumbles on this thread and needs help...
Check in game menu:

Options -> Display -> Hud General -> Chat -> Chat Visibility

Mine was set to "Hide" when I usually have it set to "When Active" (default). I'm not sure if this was caused by one of the updates or if I accidentally pressed H while playing (my guess is it was from the update).

When this is set to "Hide" you can still type in the box but it WILL NOT show anyone else typing , so it looks like chat is dead even if people are chatting. I suspect this is what's killing the chats because everyone assumes the chat is dead (not even gg's after game for instance).

Since discovering this, every time I start a session I either check the settings or press H a few times till chat is set to "Show" (you'll know because chat wont fade like it does by default). I also turned down the background opacity a little so it wasn't as distracting.

(Turning on ALL Chat helps to see if anyone is at least typing gg at the end of the game and you'll know you have working chat again)

I have chat turned off. I mute xbox / ps players since they can't understand how to use voice chat and you often hear them when they're not talking but just making noise which gets irritating.
Chat is also bound to "H" key (hide, unhide, active).

I think they really did disable chat... haven't seen ANY activity on chat. not even that "gg" that comes in the end...

they disable it in your settings in the last few patches, go to your settings and turn it ON.
